    Just to be clear, can someone confirm that tomorrow's game is 9am tomorrow, taking into account that the clocks will have changed.

    Seems strange that it is the same time as today's game, even though the clocks have moved in the interim

    Or do Japan still carry out this ridiculous practise of moving the clocks twice a year, same as us, resulting in the same time difference?

    Don't want to turn the telly on at 8.45 in the morning to find that its Half time

    I’m going to be up and ready at 8 just in case.

    Who would we rather stuff in final?

    Wales for me.

    Well I have just googled whether Japan moves its clocks and it seems they no longer do and observe Japan standard time all year. So the game must have a local kick off time 1 hour later than today's for it to be the same time as today's over here.

    Hopefully we’re putting the clocks back to 1990 when Wales were gash and they’ll get drubbed.

    According to BBC it’s at 9:00. And ITV match coverage as opposed to the build up starts at 8:50. So it looks like it really kicks off one hour later than today’s game. Seems strange but that’s what it is

    Perhaps it's a conscious decision to kick off 1 hour later to actually take into account the fact that western Europe still uses this silly notion of the clocks changing and if they don't it will hit the TV audience because it will be too early.

    I'm confused too. It states 02:00 here, whereas the England game was 01:00. The clocks don"t change in the USA until next week. I better get up early, or just stay up.

    That confirms it - the game kicks off locally 1 hour later than yesterday's :)

    Who do we prefer to be playing in the final? Or doesn’t it matter?

    I'm getting a bit more relaxed about the final, watching this.

    Watching this, I reckon it doesn't matter. Even to an uninformed watcher like me, I can see that neither are in England's league.

    It’s more like a tennis match at the moment. If I was in the crowd I would be getting neck ache

    True but Wales always seem to find another gear when they play us. At the Moment it’s looking more like SA will win this though

    Absolutely no comparison with the first semi final

    SA remind me of a sheff Utd/Wimbledon of old if I related it to football teams, rough and using their aggression to gain an advantage, they seem to be niggling and keeping tackling all the time Even when the ball is on the floor waiting to come out from wales.

    I’d guess they don’t score many tries but get their points by keeping the kicks going through the posts.

    Both sides have been p**s poor but S Africa's game plan of kicking everything is working ( not exactly the right word) because Wales seem incapable of doing what they're normally very good at in catching the high kicks and running with the ball.... absolutely rubbish stuff... Bad kicking and even worse catching.
